Why Sunburst?

Rich and Jerrie Ingersoll, co-founders of The Greyhound Alliance, named this unprecedented effort to home Panhandle greyhounds for the spirit of one of their true friends, Nicklaus. "Nicklaus, our first greyhound, was our inspiration to help as many greyhounds as possible find forever homes. He truly brought a 'burst of sunlight' into our lives that continues to shine through The Sunburst Project." Rich and Jerrie

Stop JCKC

SUNBURST ALERT 

ACTION ALERT: The JCKC-Monticello track website now shows
they plan to re-open with live racing on April 24, 2013 
In the 2012 season, The Sunburst Project moved more than 250 JCKC pets.
The physical condition and severity of health issues of those pets was well documented, and included animal cruelty charges filed with the State of Florida. The greyhounds had a safety net last year, but The Sunburst Project will not be available this year to help with pets during the season or at closing.

Please contact the State Of Florida Division of Parimutuel Wagering.
Make it clear that JCKC-Monticello must not be permitted to reopen.
